Sounds like the classic slow' date=' low track to me from the scorecard.[/quote'] If that is so then Badri's dismissal is even more glaring! He couldn't face a short ball even on slow and low track? And what about the leg break bowler Smith taking 3 wickets in just 5.3 overs, Tiwari being one of them. I can understand why Mishra didn't get many wickets. AIS batsmen didn't have to take any risk to score 140 runs. PS: Emerging Players Tournament, Brisbane, 3rd day Smith stars again in AIS victory Cricinfo staff July 23, 2009 Australian Institute of Sports 3 for 140 (Cooper 72*) beat India Emerging Players 139 (Kohli 35, Smith 3-13) by seven wickets Scorecard Two days after belting a match-winning century, Steven Smith followed up with a three-wicket haul that again helped set up a comfortable victory for the Australian Institute of Sports. Guided by a half-century from Tom Cooper, the AIS had no trouble overhauling India Emerging Players' score of 139 with nearly 15 overs remaining. Despite economical bowling from Amit Mishra, Dhawal Kulkarni and Sudeep Tyagi, India had little chance of restricting the AIS following their below-par batting effort. Cooper finished unbeaten on 72 and had support from the 17-year-old Mitchell Marsh, the brother of Shaun, who made 29. The triumph had been set up when the home team refused to let any hefty partnerships build during the Indians' innings. Virat Kohli posted 35 before becoming one of two wickets that fell to the Kerala medium-pacer Nizar Niyas, who was playing for the AIS. The real damage came via the Australians' spin, with Jon Holland picking up 2 for 39 from his ten overs. The legspinning allrounder Smith, who two days earlier had scored 125 against the New Zealanders, helped finish off the Indians in the 42nd over as he ended up with 3 for 13. South Africa Emerging Players 203 (Rossouw 67, Kuhn 44, Wagner 3-37) beat New Zealand Emerging Players 164 (Beard 41*, Tshabalala 4-41) by 39 runs Scorecard South Africa Emerging Players continued to roll on with defeat of New Zealand, whose batting woes continued to let them down in pursuit of a small target. Tim Southee and Neil Wagner were impressive with their seamers as South Africa were dismissed for 203, but New Zealand's top order was quickly in trouble at 3 for 26 and could not fight back. Wagner and Colin de Grandhomme hit at South Africa's top order but Rilee Rossouw carried the innings with a composed 67 and Heino Kuhn contributing 44 from 51 balls. Wanger and Southee checked the lower order well and South Africa were dismissed in 48.2 overs. Then CJD de Villiers and Thandi Tshabalala, who took 4 for 41, confounded New Zealand as South Africa continued their unbeaten run in the tournament. BJ Watling went for 8 and de Villiers found the edge of de Grandhomme's bat for 10, after which New Zealand slumped to 4 for 49. Anaru Kitchen (37) and Nick Beard (41 not out) found little support along the way as Tshabala struck with his handy and accurate spin. He cut off Kitchen before scalping lower-order wickets, including Southee who swung his bat for 17 off 12 balls. .

India 3/230 def NZ 9/228 SA 9/315 def Aus 9/313 Good performers for India: Sangwan 5/40 off 10 overs Naya 2/39 off 10 overs Rahane 95 off 113 balls Kohli 115 off 108 balls
Thanks Bradman for the result. Earlier in the morning, while following the AIS vs SA match, I thought it'd be 3 in a row for AIS. But SA came back remarkably well after 5 down. How I wish that they had live net coverage for every match! But it was good performance from India this time. Tyagi didn't play for some reason. Is it injury again? Once again a poor performance from the TN duo Badrinath and Vijay who fell for a duck and 2 respectively. But Rahane scored a 95 and Kohli an unbeaten 115. India lost just 3 wickets. But it certainly must have favoured swing as Sanwan secured a 5 for but no reward for Kulkarni here as well. Wonder why they keep picking Pankaj Singh! Mishra was okay with one wicket and Nayar did well by picking 2. NZ scored just 228 in 50. Are the batsmen that bad? India chased it in 41.3. If they had won 9 balls before, they could have picked a bonus point as well. Badri and Vijay consumed 27 deliveries and scored just 2 runs combined!! .

was tyagi rested?
Looks like it. Was it an injury scare? If these guys can't play 2 back to back one dayers, how can one expect them to play the longer version? I remember that Tyagi had an outstanding first season but the second season he was on and off with injury. Guys with such poor fitness can't be relied upon! Anyway, here is the report of the day 4 of this tournament: Emerging Players Tournament, Brisbane, 4th day South Africa Emerging Players maintain perfect record Cricinfo staff July 24, 2009 South Africa Emerging Players 9 for 315 (Behardien 105, Elgar 56) beat Australian Insititute of Sports 9 for 313 (Quiney 71, Smith 59, Theron 3-37) by one wicket Scorecard South Africa Emerging Players continued their unbeaten run in the tournament, clinching a high-scoring thriller at the Albury Oval against the Australian Institute of Sports (AIS). Farhaan Behardien, who hit a sparkling century, seemed to have taken South Africa through to a memorable win, but he fell in the penultimate over, with still four to get. It was the last-wicket pair of Thandi Tshabalala and Lonwabo Tsotsobe who held their nerve as they overhauled the target with two balls to spare. AIS were given the perfect start by Rob Quiney at the top, after being put in. His quickfire 71 off 63 balls was just the platform the hosts needed as captain Steven Smith and Tom Cooper joined in the act. It was Craig Alexander and Juan Theron who managed to put the brakes on the scoring for some time, with each picking up three wickets. But Jon Holland's late cameo of 33 ensured AIS went past the 300-mark. It was a steady start from the South Africans during the chase, but apart from Dean Elgar none of the top five could convert their starts to big scores. Enter Behardien. Almost single-handedly he turned the tide South Africa's way, blasting 105 off just 60 balls. His innings was studded with 11 fours and four sixes as he put on 82 for the fifth wicket with Elgar. Another 50-plus partnership with CJD de Villiers followed as South Africa closed in on victory. But there was more drama to follow. India Emerging Players 3 for 230 (Kohli 115*, Rahane 95) beat New Zealand Emerging Players 9 for 228 (Fulton 122, Sangwan 5-40) by seven wickets Scorecard India Emerging Players brushed off the disappointment of consecutive losses by thrashing New Zealand by seven wickets at the WEP Harris Oval. India made regular inroads after fielding first and were led by Pradeen Sangwan, the left-arm seamer, who picked up five wickets as New Zealand were restricted to 9 for 228. Peter Fulton's crucial century from No. 3 was put in the shade by an unbeaten 115 from Virat Kohli and India knocked off their target in the 42nd over. Fulton, the New Zealand captain, led the resistance with 122 from 143 balls and Kane Williamson (40 from 60) made a start after Sangwan nipped out the openers. But then Abhishek Nayar struck twice with his slow medium-pacers to hurt New Zealand's middler order before Sangwan took out three more to finish with 5 for 40. India themselves lost two quick wickets but Kohli and the opener Ajinkya Rahane forged a match-winning partnership that flummoxed New Zealand. Rahane missed a century by just five runs, stumped off Nick Beard at victory's doorstep, and Kohli remained not out to seal a crushing victory. .
